New stuff today: Yay Burpees stainless steel water bottles! It seems like everyone at my box has the same water bottle; maybe these will help.
In other store news, my own pair of SQUATS undies arrived yesterday. I am so tempted to post a picture of me modeling them, but I don't think the world is quite ready for that. They are just as cute as I'd hoped. I would recommend going one size up if you're not sure which size to get.
Yesterday was my rest day, so no fun CrossFit stories today. It was also my husband's birthday, so we went out to dinner at our favorite restaurant. I'm mid-nutrition challenge (Paleo/Zone) at our box, and therefore was extremely restricted as to what I could eat. The server even commented that she noticed I didn't eat any bread and that I was "so good". Then she watched me not eat any cake. She probably thinks I have some kind of eating disorder. Ditto the lady I bought birthday chocolates from today after I turned down (!) free samples.
These are the issues I find most difficult to deal with while eating this way - other people's scrutiny. I am completely used to the actual food, and could probably keep this up indefinitely. But as soon as I have to leave the house for a meal, everything gets exponentially harder, and not just because it's hard to find Paleo options (we're being very strict - no dairy, no sugar of any kind, no grains, no gluten). I don't really mind explaining to my friends that I'm doing a nutrition challenge, even though they think I'm nuts, but I can't really launch into my spiel to every server. It irks me to know that they are thinking I'm watching my weight, when in reality it's not about that at all - I want to feel good! I should carry around notecards and hand them out.
